  1. Re:Well that's a new record on Can AI Games Create Super-Intelligent Humans? · · Score: 1

    Yep. And one could also claim that games create more stupid humans who then create more stupid games.

  2. translated news on Nuclear Emergency Declared At 2 Plants In Japan · · Score: 1
  3. Re:I read this on Slashdot more than 5 years ago on Research Finds That Electric Fields Help Neurons Fire · · Score: 1

    I remember that article too about the evolutionary designed circuit. I remember it had to point out if a certain frequency was there, or something like that. If I look to sun (actually works better if I miss slightly) I have to sneeze. Ah, there is an article written about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACHOO_syndrome So what do you think, could these two phenomenons be somehow related?

  4. I have to say: on Model Says Religiosity Gene Will Dominate Society · · Score: 0

    No shit Sherlock. .. But why one could not get that kind of experiences about science?

  5. Hello on Makerbot Thing-o-Matic 3D Printer Review · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Reprap?

  6. Re:Misleading title? Say it ain't so! on Nobel Prize Winner Says DNA Performs Quantum Teleportation · · Score: 1

    www.rifetechnologies.com/davos2009-D.doc http://www.physics.ucla.edu/research/biophysics/pubs/pdf/_paper_ol_dipole.pdf They are talking about GHz freqs (not so low). Then "electrical conductivity of DNA" gives quite many hits too.

  7. Re:Misleading title? Say it ain't so! on Nobel Prize Winner Says DNA Performs Quantum Teleportation · · Score: 1

    From the freaking paper: "Some bacterial and viral DNA sequences have been found to induce low frequency electromagnetic waves in high aqueous dilutions."

    Do someone find that from some other paper? DNA-extraction looks quite easy and I could send and receive signals via USRP and try to detect if there is resonance. It might be an interesting hobby project even, if doomed to fail.

  8. Apply this fundraising method for Mars mission! on Crowdfund a Moon Monolith Mission? · · Score: 1

    This funding method might work better than advertising: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/12/30/nasa-scientist-publishes-colonizing-red-planet-guide/ I'm ordering this book in couple of moths by the way

  9. Re:"Kaminsky" on Kaminsky Offers Injection Antidote · · Score: 1

    .. I forgot to log in. About these naming conventions and grammar nazis, well. Finish has these things called prepositions, which are used in quite similar way, and it is said that Finnish is one of the hardest language to learn because of those. Good luck with that Dan... And that kind of behavior is not a new invention. I have faint memories, that for example Symbian did use that kind of trick to interfere memory allocation behavior or smth. It's funny how in Symbian class's variables are always iSomething, and then *tudumtsah* iPhone.

  10. Re:have they bought "Beyond Pitiful" yet? on BP Buys "Oil Spill" Search Term · · Score: 1

    I love the sound of you words: it would had been economically beneficial to care about security and environment. Yes. Sounds nice.

  11. Re:Yeah! on AMD's Fusion Processor Combines CPU and GPU · · Score: 1

    Quite all AI things that I know involve dot products for long vectors, which could be optimized with GPUs.

  12. How I'm supposed to program apps for these? on AMD's Fusion Processor Combines CPU and GPU · · Score: 1

    That's hot! Now I'll need only one big cooler instead of many small ones. Is it possible to use these GPUs easily in my own apps? What kinds of compilers we have for these? Will this start an era of functional programming?

  13. I for one on Part-Human, Part-Machine Transistor Devised · · Score: 1

    I for one, welcome our new human based overlords.

  14. Perhaps it's the way they pronounce things on Why Are Indian Kids So Good At Spelling? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it's the way they pronounce things. Dunno. In Finnish the words are said like they are written, and we do not have spelling competitions because that would be, well, silly.

  15. Re:It's all about control on Caffeine Addicts Get No Additional Perk, Only a Return To Baseline · · Score: 1

    I get sleep easier, when I do not drink coffee. If I want to be awake, I'll drink coffee. Yes. It's all about control.

    Good point.

  19. False assumptions. on Are Quirky Developers Brilliant Or Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    I have not experienced any correlation between ingeniousness, quirkiness and the behavior of the management.

  20. Re:so... what is the meta data, exactly? on Who Owns Application Delivery Meta-Data In the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    'cloud computing' is hype and a buzzword which is used to obtain credibility, money and publicity. people love to read scifi-like things and the use of such weird words feed that. I would not say that everything that is done under that label is stupid though.

  21. It can be done again on Technologies To Watch Fail In 2009 · · Score: 1

    Well. I guess that you can found bad companies again when the next hype phase comes.

  22. Re:Mutant Mosquitoes on GM Mosquito Could Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    "However, when both sets of insects were fed non-infected blood they competed equally well."
    I somehow missed that one.

    Did the story tell, that normal mosquitoes laid more eggs if not infected Or did it tell that
    GM mosquitoes laid more eggs when fed with infected blood? ;)

  23. Re:Mutant Mosquitoes on GM Mosquito Could Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    1. "The modified mosquitoes had a higher survival rate and laid more eggs."
          --> More mosquitos.

    2. Malaria mutates so that it can infect GM mosquitos.

    3. More death.
